Some of the first investigations of prebiotic chemistry assumed that synthesis required liquid water to occur [1]}, [2]}. However, aerosols have long since been recognized as a source of prebiotic material, including amino acids, nucleobases, sugars, purines, and pyrimidines on the early Earth [3]}. Mass spectrometry has been used in a variety of exobiology focused investigations from meterorites to Mars to Titan [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}, [8]}, and its use has successfully enabled identification of amino acids and nucleobases in the products of Titan atmosphere simulation experiments [9]}, [10]}, as well as both amino acids and sugars in meteorite samples suggested to have seeded the early Earth [11]}.
